Oh yeah, that game with Bananas is out, today. Wonder how that'll impact AGameAWeek?
-=-=-
I'm writing this at 9pm on Wednesday.
Donkey Kong Bananza is due for release in a few short hours, and then the first episode of the new Season of Star Trek : Strange New Worlds should be popping up on Paramount +, though whether that'll be an early 12am thing, or a later "sensible" time, I've no idea.
Either way, I'm now kinda freaking out about how little time I have to get anything done tonight, so am writing this little bit of waffle early, so I can buckle down and get some Fruit Bowl gameplay working.
I fell asleep about 11pm, and didn't wake up until after 9am this morning. I now have a fruit bowl game to finish off, two Treks to watch, a Donkey Kong game that's sitting on my Switch 2 waiting to be played, and this morning's pixelart/poetry/blogging to do.
Stupid sleep, getting in the way of everything.
Grrr.

[bridge]
We're on the bridge, it's red alert,
Buttons flash and panels chirp,
Captain’s shouting, "Fire at Will"
Weapons set from stun to kill.
The helm’s gone mad, the lights are red,
Our hero captain's filled with dread.
The shields are down, but spirits high,
Torpedoes armed. It's do or die.

Tea. Earl Grey. With milk.

[Dave is hunched over his laptop while Mrs Thompson reads from a notepad. The blue glow from the Mini Fridge creates an cool atmosphere.]
Dave: Right, so if we cross-reference the Cola sales with the ScrunchCakes.
Mrs Thompson: David, not everything needs Cola in it.
Dave: But the data suggests-
Mrs Thompson: The data suggests you drink too much cola.
Dave: These are sales. Everyone else buys coke, too.
Mrs Thompson: No, David, everyone else is drinking those ScrunchyTeas and ScrunchCoffees.
Dave: OK, so our records show that the Lemb and Mint sausages seem to be the most popular.
Mrs Thompson: Of course they are, they're a great variety of sausage.
Dave: But look at this graph! If we combine the popularity of the Raspberry Ripple..
Mrs Thompson: David, are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?
Dave: Triple-decker Cola-Raspberry-Lamb ScrunchCake!
Mrs Thompson: Absolutely not.
Dave: But the spreadsheet says-
Mrs Thompson: The spreadsheet also says we sell more cakes on Sundays when me and you are usually at the Church Fete.
[Green enters with a fresh batch of sales figures]
Green: More data for your chaos.
Dave: Perfect! Just in time.
Green: Any luck deciding a new ScrunchCake?
Dave: We've decided on a triple..
Mrs Thompson: [interrupts] No. No we haven't decided on that.
Dave: But it sounded delicious!
Green: Let him finish, Mrs Thompson. After all, it's his crazy ideas that got us this far.
Dave: Triple-decker Cola-Raspberry-Lamb ScrunchCake!!
Green: Yeah, maybe not that, Dave.
